Marclay’s process is often described as mechanically rigorous, but by this hour it has something more fallible and human to it. You can imagine him scanning through the clips, desperately trying to find something that fits. Everyone is at their limit: the artist, the characters, the handful of viewers still left in the screening room. Because we are tired, the immense labor of The Clock becomes more visible.
